Sup everybody, i recently deposited $100 on bovada a couple weeks ago and have been grinding PLO HUSNG. Although i have a small sample size of only ~500 games ive kept track of my roi which is 18%. Anybody have experience in these formats? its 50bb starting stacks and i find most recreational players play very poorly in low SPR situations. Although i know omaha is a higher variance game than hold'em does the sng format of this game do anything to nullify this? I feel that i have a much larger edge than i would playing holdem at the same ($5-20) husng level.

meh - i think you are wasting your time if you want to do this for money. It's great practice but your $ per hour is going to be really low unless you run like the wind.
I think your best bet is to get a job where you can make $5000 and put that on the poker site and play with that. You can still play in your spare time but the job will give you side money that you can use to play poker with at higher levels to make $$$ faster.
The people at NL100 are really bad on bovada.

If you are having fun, stick with them.
If your goal is to win lots of cash, switch to ring games.

Very unproductive answer above(2 above). Those 50 bb sng's are almost certainly higher variance than 100bb 6 max cash and guaranteed higher variance than 100bb HU cash.
Your "edge" may just be running good; if you really have an edge in those games you should be playing HU cash. Gl whatever you decide to do, boss.

Thanks for answers, my game of choice has always been husng. Before i used to play on bovada my roi was ~10% over 5k games @20 level. I normally play 50-100 games a day so putting in the volume hasn't been the problem. Does anybody have any long term experience playing omaha husng though? Also i feel that if i have a larger edge in these games the variance would tend to be lower over time.

SNG's have higher variance than cash games (particularly turbos and hypers), and PLO has higher variance than NLH, so those PLO HUSNG are probably close to as bad as it comes for variance.
Also, I find it hard to believe you'll get enough action on any site to get in that amount of games every day. PLO SNG's just aren't that popular, so if you have an edge in those games you're better off playing cash.

I was mistaken they are actually 75bb starting stacks 10/20 1500 stacks and reg speed. The longest I've had to wait for a game is 5 min and I multi table. If I have a perceived edge of 60% on someone I find it hard to see how that's much higher variance in any form of husng since you either win or lose. I understand cash games of omaha are much higher variance prob due to more multi way pots with drawy hands

I actually like the PLO SnG @ Bovada, though generally agree with Sheriff. I track my win rate per hour, and it is definitely greater playing cash. Though, sometimes I just enjoy a SNG.
Anyways I do have some questions about PLO and PLO8. Specifically PLO8 . Hands, and what to do in certain spots..
If there is a good place to pose these, please let me know as I am new to the forums.
